INSTALLING ELECTRIC COOKTOP. DIY Range or Stove Top Installation Instructions.
What happens here
After disconnecting the electrical wires, the cooktop is ready to be removed. Many cooktops are simply seated in the counter opening, while others may have clamps that need to be unscrewed (often with wing nuts) from underneath. In this case, there were no clamps. Have a second person assist you as cooktops can be awkward to lift, even if they're not extremely heavy. Carefully lift the cooktop straight up and out of the counter opening, ensuring the flexible conduit is fully freed. If the old cooktop has a cracked ceramic top, be cautious of loose glass pieces.
Goal: Physically remove the old cooktop from the counter
